Food: YUMMY! If you like cheese and steak get the steak enchiladas. They were amazing. For tacos. Recommend the potato special one and the steak taco. They were both delicious. Chips were hot and crispy but could use more salt. Service: Server was friendly and attentive. Also gave good recommendations. Atmosphere: The extended patio was amazing!!! Such a beautiful spot to see the beach and sunset! Highly recommend.

Was looking for authentic Mexican food and thought I would give this place a try. The restaurant is very modern. The service is good but the food is okay. However, corn off the cob was excellent.

Such a vibe! The food, the service, the atmosphere, and the views were just everything. If you're in the area and looking for Mexican fine dining, this is it! This was my first time going, and I will certainly be back. Our waitress was great. The place was gorgeous! Great for big groups! And you can sit outside with a view too! Def a must try! Thank you for making my first time there great! There is a parking garage to park in. There wasn't a changing table in the bathrooms for little ones.

First Visit: I am glad I decided to check this place out! The views from the tables are gorgeous and the ambiance is very lively and open. I made a reservation in advance and was seated right away. The hostess was very friendly to me and we our waiter was attentive. I could tell the chips and salsa were freshly prepared. I ordered the salmon agave tacos, it was absolutely delicious. It was cooked in an agave sauce that tasted perfect. Overall, this is a fun place and I look forward to returning info. Second Visit: Returned for a second visit with a friend expecting the same amazing service and food, but was disappointed. I ordered the salmon agave tacos because they were delicious the first time I dined in here. Unfortunately, I could not eat more than a bite because the salmon was extremely dry and tasteless. Our waitress did not try to accommodate either so I didn't get to enjoy a meal at all.

Enjoy a gorgeous view of the beach as you savor ever bite of the delicious Mexican dishes. The large portions will leave you satisfied. The chips provided are uniquely seasonsed and addictive. Make reservations to ensure your seat.

All the staffs are very friendly and welcoming. Our server Yuma is engaging, if we ask him something he will take time to answer. Only thing I didn’t like is the nacho chips, it’s a little salty for me, but Yuma said it was salt and lime flavored chips. Ambience is very nice too, and if you are lucky to sit by the window, you can have the view of Huntington Beach. Will come back for sure!

Was unsure about this place when reading the reviews.. but then found myself back here twice in two days lol First time - it was the VIEW. You can look to get a seat (even booth!) overlooking the entire beach.. literally perfect to just hang out, grab some drinks and appetizers.. and chill. Which is exactly what we did for a late lunch Food was good.. stand outs were the tacos.. the sauces they use.. like a tangy spicy one w/ mango or something.. tasty! They also have a VERY spicy habanero salsa for anyone who loves spice.. and it is FIRE. Trust me.. but so so good bc it has the smokiness from the peppers! Second time - came for a late brekkie, early brunch! The watermelon salad was surprisingly good.. pretty interesting how they seared the watermelon.. but it retained its juiciness.. got it with shrimp so it was pretty hearty Salmon was on point too Overall, imagine this is a good spot for cocktails, beers and chillin with a view. The food is what you’d expect (good but nothing to write home about)

I had a wonderful experience at Ola Mexican Kitchen with my family. We were looking for a place with a nice view and we found this gem on the beach. The restaurant is cozy and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive. They gave us some great recommendations for food and drinks. We ordered four tacos: Baja Fish, Blackened Shrimp, Pork Belly, and Taco of the Month. The Baja Fish taco had crispy beer-battered cod, cabbage slaw, pico de gallo, and chipotle aioli. It was light and crunchy. The Blackened Shrimp taco had spicy grilled shrimp, mango salsa, avocado, and cilantro lime crema. It was sweet and tangy. The Pork Belly taco had braised pork belly, pickled red onion, cilantro, and salsa verde. It was crispy, tender, and flavorful. The Taco of the Month was a special creation that changes every month. When we went, it was a birria taco with tender beef stewed in a rich broth, melted cheese, onion, cilantro, and a side of consomé for dipping. It was savory and satisfying. The Baja Fish Burrito was also very good, with fresh fish, rice, beans, cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, and creamy sauce. It was wrapped in a warm flour tortilla and served with chips and salsa. The portions were generous and satisfying. I also enjoyed the Phantom Bride IPA, which was one of the many beers they have on tap. They let me sample a few before I decided, which I appreciated. The beer was hoppy, citrusy, and refreshing. The best part of the meal was the view. We had a table by the window and we could see the ocean and the sunset. It was breathtaking and romantic. We felt like we were on vacation. Ola Mexican Kitchen is a great place to enjoy some authentic Mexican food and drinks with a stunning view. I highly recommend it and I can’t wait to go back.
